WE’RE LOCAL

All three of our partners were born and raised in Lancaster County and our Lancaster County roots go back several generations. This local presence has resulted in long-standing relationships with our colleagues in other local and regional professional firms, banking and other financial institutions, and the numerous retirement and assisted living communities for which Lancaster has become known.

what our clients have said

I worked with Paul Zimmerman and was very pleased with the work that he did. I have worked with a number of lawyers over the years and I found that he was professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and even supporting and thoughtful. I appreciated his attention to detail, even years later when I had a question about the case. I would highly recommend Paul and this firm to anyone who needs legal representation for a custody/family court case.
